It is the construct "\{" that is special, not the character "{".
The manual says
"The special characters are `.', `*', `+', `?', `[', `]', `^',
`$', and `\'; no new special characters will be defined in the
future. Any other character appearing in a regular expression is
ordinary, unless a `\' precedes it."
